Less is more. First either ask your travel agent or go to your airline’s Web site to find out what, if any, luggage restrictions apply. If you follow these packing tips, you’ll find you can pack light and still have everything you’ll need for your trip. You’ll also learn how to avoid wrinkles and your toiletries getting all over your clothes.
__Your wallet with driver’s license and/or other proper identification and passport for all travel outside the U.S
__Health and auto insurance cards or information
__Credit cards and traveler’s checks
__All your tickets: airline, cruise or train
__Itinerary with confirmation numbers and addresses and phone numbers of your accommodations
__If applicable, coupons for discounts on auto rentals, restaurants, museums, etc.
__Travel brochures, books and maps
__Lots of one-dollar bills for tipping
__If you’re traveling abroad, carry just enough currency for immediate use until you can make it to the currency exchange at your destination airport, hotel or public bank or ATM.
__Carry your medications, in their original bottles, in your carry-on.
__Bring the list of the generic names of your medications.
__Have your doctor write you a letter about drugs you take, which may be suspect in another country, stating that you have a legal medical reason to use them.
__Carry your medications, in their original bottles, in your carry-on. Check what the countries consider acceptable.
Pack your liquids in plastic travel bottles. Fill the bottles only three-fourths of the way in case they are crushed or the contents freeze and expand. You may want to pack them in freezer bags just in case.
While all film is at some risk, but high-speed film has the highest. Your film is not safe from the scanning devices used at the security check-point or the those used to inspect checked luggage.
__Buy special carrying cases designed to protect your film.
__If you do pack film in your carry-on, ask for a manual inspection.
__To make sure you have usable film for your trip, buy it when you arrive at your destination, or have it developed before you leave.
